I made this video mainly to go over some of more "Tesla Specific" part of the install since majority of the Airlift management install as well as the suspension install is pretty generic to most other cars and was also covered in my Tesla Model 3 airlift 3H install video.

Bro, Ive done all of my major upgrades on my P3D- because of your informational videos. I am beginning to buy parts for my airbag setup and should have everything by this summer. Thank you for all you do man. Ive been watching your videos before I even bought my tesla and its so cool to see your confidence in being in front of the camera completely turn around. Keep it up man, you are appreciated.

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks Rafal, this is amazing! you're showing appreciation to me because of my videos and by you showing your appreciate, it really makes my day knowing what i am doing is helping out others and you recognize my confidence in front of the camera is growing! for that, i appreciate you as well my friend! Hope to hear about your build completion soon! let me know if you have any questions!

[@lvl2ev236]

Thanks again for the amazing attention to detail Perry!!! We all really appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate the full install! Come back down to so-cal soon!! -lvl2ev

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks buddy! SoCal trips gotta happen again for sure!

[@wabawa]

Awesome!!! Great info and video as always. Thanks Perry!

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks Vinh!

[@segfault31]

Thank you, nice job. Very nice video and clean setup. Answered a lot of my questions.

[@TeslaDIY]

Thank you!

[@vmarcable]

Awesome video! Very informative with detailed explanations. Thank you! I have a 2022 Model Y Performance and primarily want a smoother ride. I love the 21” turbine wheels, but our crappy roads makes the stock ride pretty harsh. Hoping an air suspension will help smooth things out even with the performance wheels. Great job on the custom install. Love the fact that you can remove the tank and compressors so quickly and still maintain a drivable ride height. Keep up the great work! You’ve just earned yourself a new subscriber!

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks buddy! Thanks for taking your time to let me know that you appreciate my video! For that, I appreciate you too! Means a lot to me. And yes, air suspension is so convenience and ride so smoothly if you have the right setup, the front sleeve bags from the UAS kit that is, the double bellow from air demand isn’t bad either but you can definitely feel the difference in the sleeve bags from UAS. Not cheap tho but consider some owners are willing to drop 5-10k on just wrap, ppf, ceramic coat…etc, ~5k for a comfort ride, a nice stance (low ride with flush fitment wheels) if that’s what you’re into, yet being able to go over any bumps at ease, is a good investment IMO

[@vmarcable]

@@TeslaDIY Very true about the investments! The Model Y is such a great vehicle; having a more comfortable ride on our washboard streets would be next level. I noticed you mentioned flush fitment wheels for the low stance. Does that mean the stock 21” wheels and tires are too wide or stick out too far? If so, what sizes are you running? Thank you very much for the reply and additional info! I really appreciate it!

[@gearheadhk6991]

Another great video! Thanks Perry!

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks buddy

[@ChimChimIsDead]

You are a genius! Happy Lunar New Year.

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks my friend, same to you!

[@kordobez3978]

Awesome video.. I need to buy that shut off valve !! Will be installing airlift on my 2022 model Y .. and I want a set up like that to remove everything easier

[@Firehuntah]

Very informative video, great job! 👍 Thanks for sharing! 😃 Already thought the 3 looked awesome on air but the Y with these UAS struts is even more impressive with the height range it has. Love both of them though. 🔥🔥😁

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks Rob

[@superscort57]

Great setup up.

[@TheElectricMan]

tesla model y is amazing

[@tubeaudioslave]

Thank you so much for this video. The solid state relay info wiring is what I was after. I like the modular tank. I hope its the same for a SR+ 2021

[@TeslaDIY]

Glad I can help! Appreciate your comment!

So sick dude

[@JustChuck1t]

This is awesome.

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks Chaz

[@Anders0nic]

Great job bud!

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks Anderson

[@jt_mStesla]

Wish you had a video showing how you built the tank setup. Like the piece that the tank and compressors are bolted to

[@TeslaDIY]

Just mdf board, wood screws, wood glue and maybe some of those inserts with threads

[@jeffkeo2901]

This is awesome! Can you make a manifold bracket for the 3? Your channel is so underrated.

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks Jeff, I looked, there isn’t much room for the 3, unless you hide it all the way far back by the passenger side firewall, or if you remove the duct for A/C, which I might do…

[@jeffkeo2901]

@@TeslaDIY Ahh ok :( thanks for the feedback. Make a video if you decide to do it! :P Keep up the good work!

[@geoffgeoff3333]

After seeing the Plaid structural air tank on Munro, I was hoping the Y's could be hidden under the frunk or in the lower hatch trunk. Oh, well, at least the ride will be smooth - and that's the entire point. Great work making the tank&compressors easily/quickly removable, too! Thanks for excellent explanation of the install and potential pitfalls, too!

[@TeslaDIY]

You’re welcome George! And thank you!

[@ananwolf]

That's Awesome! do you have more information about that blue canbus plug behind the rear seat? I have a model 3 with 20pin and I know that some model 3 have either 20pin (Intel) or 26pin (AMD). I want to know if the interior light is the same wire and what other wires does

[@RafalDelano]

So do you prefer this setup vs what you have on your model 3? Im about to start buying parts and want to know what tank, suspension, and compressors I should get. Thanks again bro!

[@TeslaDIY]

i personally have no issue with air demand on my model 3, it rides a bit sportier (firm) but i do have it set at max stiff dampening. down side of airdemand is probably after sale service although i personally have not had any need of service since its been good so far for 1.5 year of use. Also airdemand doesnt raise as high, but i find it high enough for what i need so far. UAS is a bit more expensive, definitely more comfortable thanks to the front sleeve bag design, ability to raise up wayyyy higher than stock, i have it set to 1/2 stiffness (12 out of 24 clicks) and its nice and smooth. airing up and down unevenly is probably a downside, watch part of my video where i explain this issue

[@jt_mStesla]

Did you use the oem rubber pieces that held the springs in the rear on the new rear bags? I can’t tell from that angle

[@jt_mStesla]

I need those height sensor brackets, wished universal air provided them with their kit. Does your friend or you sell them?

[@bh9262]

Can get you to install this apparatus for me? i

[@josephrivera6555]

Hey man, do you mind sharing the 3d model you made for the mount? Thanks!

[@BateriasSobreRuedas]

Me encantaria hacer esto con mi model Y

[@lxe1986]

Hello Perry, I like the video. Is there a part list of all the items that you used in the Model Y? If so, I want to put together the same setup for my 2021 Model Y. Thanks.

[@TeslaDIY]

No I don’t have a part list, but most of the major components are only 2 things, the suspension/bags, and air management (usually comes with compressor(s), tank, wiring….etc You can contact Rishie from zevcentric to get a quote and figure out what exactly you’ll need

[@TeslaDIY]

And thanks!

[@lxe1986]

@@TeslaDIY Thank You, I will check into this....

[@LP-qg7kc]

I wanna install air suspension in Tesla model y performance. Any issues with electrical or battery . I already bought the airlift performance kit with dual compressor. But I am scared with battery issues or once we get out the car will shutdown itself and lock , but with air suspension door will lock shut the battery right ? Any recommendations in Dallas Texas to install my kit . Hard to find a dealer to install on Tesla 😰😰

[@ahmadb6025]

How about the warranty on the car is valid with the air suspension?

[@LP-qg7kc]

We need add any front and rear chambers

[@JustChuck1t]

How many wholes and notches did you have to make into the body of the car to run the lines etc? Aka is it possible to remove it all to stock and they won't know

[@TeslaDIY]

No holes other than the hole in the frunk tub

[@richrivera9200]

Lovin the builds! Do you want have an IG to keep up with your builds?

[@NamNguyen-xz2ec]

For the 3M tape primer did you apply it to the bumper or to the ADRO front lip ? Also how long does it take to dry?

[@TeslaDIY]

haha you commented on the wrong video, but yeah, i applied the 3M tape primer on the bumper only since the ADRO front lip already had 3M double sided tape applied on the back side of the spoiler. It dries pretty quickly, 1-2 mins maybe

[@NamNguyen-xz2ec]

Thanks man lolz much appreciated

[@nhonda6516]

Did you add spacers to the Gemini's? The stance doesn't look that bad on yours.

[@TeslaDIY]

Yeah, 25mm front and 30mm rear, that was my setup for my Model 3

[@BerraLilltroll]

Very informative. Do you have more video of the the result. How it feels etc?

[@TeslaDIY]

i dont have more video, not sure how i can show the ride quality in video but i can tell you its very smooth, i made 3 trips from north CA to South CA already, put about 10,000 miles last year, not a single issue.

[@edmundorivera5825]

Hey buddy, what roof rack and roof cargo carrier is on your model 3?

[@TeslaDIY]

this should answer all your questions. instagram.com/stories/highlights/17900426179724992/

[@deezyb858]

Where did you run the lines? Did you have to drill into the body at all ?

[@TeslaDIY]

I ran mine alongside of the rocker, i drilled holes on the taps inside the rocker panel and ran the lines thru it so its secured. Some people run it alongside of the coolant channel cavity, which is a better option, just harder to do, you can watch UAS's video by Zack, he shows how he ran his thru the coolant channel

[@JohnBennettAlwaysready1776]

Do you have to keep the console open for power?

[@TeslaDIY]

no

[@jt_mStesla]

I don’t know how to ask this correctly but what are you using to connect and disconnect the compressors?

[@TeslaDIY]

Those are XT60 connectors, i solder in those connectors to the compressor wires, they are the same connectors used on 3D printers and RC cars..etc

[@jt_mStesla]

@@TeslaDIY ok awesome and where did you buy the connectors to slow the air travel to bags?

[@gookerbooker9579]

If only this upgrade was available from Tesla... the only reason not to get Model Y is the rough suspension
